That sounds like an incredibly stupid worded agreement "if mutually agreed", but you can't override that by anything you do now.  

@Vonetta BookerLooks like you did an incredible job!!

Some producer somewhere came up with that as their "hook" and now they have to stick to it.One of the ones I do think is a little more realistic is that "Fixer Upper" show with Chip and Joanna Gaines.

They are almost always asset based, so they'll need to see a deal in order for them to produce a quote.

We would receive information from the sales rep or broker once a group health policy had been sold (employee benefits packages) and make sure everything was legal, have it input in the system, bills produced and employee ID cards issued.I think my background in project management will be helpful, but not sure how to get someone outside of catering or health insurance to give me a chance with no background in their field (i.e. real estate, construction, etc.)Any advice?

I work for New Western, we're a large wholesale firm in Houston and that is an incredibly accurate description of the day to day things I hear.I especially like #7 where you mentioned that you should insist on meeting your potential wholesaler at their office- We require investors come to our office first at our firm.

Hello @Kristine VongYou definitely have the right frame of mind in seeking a mentor - a seasoned local investor can be invaluable in helping you learn the tricks of the trade here.Just be careful that you set expectations correctly for yourself and for the mentor - most of the time that I've sought the advice of a mentor, they've directed me to some resource or material.Perhaps this guide, "The Ultimate Guide to Finding Incredible Mentors" can help you start your search for a mentor that will help you in your real estate journey!

@Brian Gibbons This is incredible, I really loved your story and how motivational it was!
